Thanks Billy

Hmm, think I'll take your word for that, I suppose you could rub the two wooden bits together so that they would ignite & use them to sterilise the metal bit, but then you would need something else small enough to make sure you didn't scoop out the good bit...

A pair of chop sticks perhaps, or even cocktail sticks, but nobody has suggested them yet...

It's a particularly green tip. If all frontal keyhole lobotomies were carried out using recycled paperclips, just think how much metal we would save on scalpels and cranial drilling equipment and so on. Reduce reuse recycle.

Cut a small piece of foam padding & clip it onto trousers on a coat hanger & they don't fall off when being taken from one place to another in a suit cover, or have a clothes peg mark...
